There is a lot happening and shifting within the network marketing space right now. Big changes are leaving people questioning the future of network marketing and their own roles within it. Kristen is here to provide support and clarity about what’s going on in the industry, bringing you this special bonus episode.

In this State of the Union replay, Kristen discusses the changes we’re seeing and offers encouragement and insight. Kristen continues to instill what is possible in this business model, reminding us all that there is still hope for the industry. It's normal to feel vulnerable, to have questions, and to feel a bit unsure of what’s coming next.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• This is hard, and we all feel it. Whenever we see a company change their model to an affiliate model, we ask, "What does this mean for my company?" It's important to remember that network marketing is not going anywhere.
• Even as companies pivot, your most valuable assets remain intact: your email lists, your personal brand, and the skills you’ve acquired.
• Tough seasons are part of any business journey. If you’re losing faith in the network marketing business, now is the time to rebuild your belief. Focus on what’s possible and where the industry is heading.

Be the person who talks about the future and inspires others with a vision of where we’re going. It’s not about ignoring the challenges but about charging through the storm with determination and resilience. Network marketing offers countless opportunities, even in times of change.

By focusing on your strengths and staying positive, you can navigate these shifts and come out stronger. Stay hopeful, stay confident, and remember, you have the tools needed to succeed.

Are you feeling stuck in your network marketing business, watching your income become stagnant despite your hard work? Welcome to the paycheck plateau, a phase every network marketer will face at some point. If you haven't encountered it yet, it's only a matter of time.

In today’s episode, Kristen talks about how to recognize the warning signs, addresses the first paycheck plateau, and shares strategies for getting back on track.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• The paycheck plateau occurs when your income from network marketing stagnates after an initial period of growth. This is a natural part of the business cycle.
• Your content should go beyond asking for sales. Focus on how you can serve your audience and add value to their lives. Be deliberate with your content.
• Expand your network by connecting with people outside your immediate circle.
• Adapt your marketing strategies to the changing market dynamics. What worked initially may not work now.

When you’ve exhausted your hot leads and find yourself struggling to maintain momentum, it’s time to shift your approach. Stop relying on the same customers and broaden your audience to expand your customer base. The solution is simple yet powerful: you need to network beyond your immediate comfort zone.

It’s easy to be fully committed to your business when everything is going smoothly. But what about during the stormy seasons when sales don’t come as easily? How do you stay strong and put in the hard work even when it’s tough?

The market has changed, and things are not the same as they used to be. Scarcity in the market creates new challenges. This is the time to dig deep and find your grit. Imagine if you could crush it during a hard market—what kind of skills could you develop, and who could you become?

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• When the market is tough, it pushes you to think creatively and strategically. You’re forced to hone your skills, sharpen your focus, and develop new strategies to overcome obstacles.
• What if it’s not going to get easier? This new reality requires resilience and adaptability. Learn to work hard when it's hard.
• If you’re in a storm, stop waiting for it to pass. Embrace the challenges, commit to your goals, and find ways to thrive.

Remember: change is inevitable in business and it’s not always going to be easy. So, if you’re feeling the weight of these changing times, use it as motivation to redefine your approach and embrace a new normal that sets you up for sustained growth and achievement.

Have you ever felt like your business is on cruise control, where the excitement and motivation that once drove you have faded? This stage is what’s known as the "danger zone," and it’s a place many of us might find ourselves in without even realizing it.

The concept hit home for Kristen during a conversation with her fitness coach about her current state in her fitness journey. What became strikingly clear is that this danger zone is not just limited to fitness—it happens in business too.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• The danger zone is a point in your journey where you're no longer driven by pain but haven't yet established a new goal to chase. It’s human nature to avoid pain more than to chase desires
• Your business begins as a solution to this pain, but what happens when the pain is alleviated? Without a new goal, you risk entering the danger zone.
• Without the drive to move forward, complacency sets in. You might think there’s an endpoint where you’ve completed your journey, but the truth is, the work never truly ends.
• Understand that growth often comes with discomfort. Be willing to put yourself in situations that challenge you and push you out of your comfort zone.
• Every entrepreneur reaches a point where the journey feels mundane and less exciting. It's normal, but it’s also a signal that you need to push yourself further.

The danger zone is a reality for many business owners. It’s where you might feel tempted to relax and coast, but it’s also where you risk stagnation. Kristen encourages you to move out of the danger zone, find the motivation that will drive you to the next level, and achieve your goals. Don’t let complacency take hold.

Are you the person who's constantly looking back at what your business once was? Wishing for the days when making a sale felt effortless, when your warm market connections seemed to be enough? The truth is, things have changed.

In today’s episode Kristen delivers the hard truth about tapping into your cold market and asking the crucial question… are you still bought into this business, even knowing it's different, hard, and outside of your comfort zone?

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Wishing for the old business creates resistance to your now. If you compare the present day team and business to the past, we are in a different landscape.
• One of the significant shifts in network marketing is the transition from warm market messaging to cold market engagement. The people you once relied on—friends, family, acquaintances—might not be enough to sustain your business anymore.
• If your customer base isn't yielding the same revenue, it's a sign that you need new eyes on your products.
• It's not enough to show up only when you're desperate or feeling scarcity. True success comes from being consistent, no matter the circumstances.
• Buying back in means embracing the changes, adapting your strategies, and continually selling yourself on the value and potential of your business.

Let's be real: this isn't your old business anymore. The landscape has changed, and clinging to the past won't drive your success in the present. It's time to decide—are you in this business or not? Are you ready to stop making excuses, adapt to the new reality, and put in the work?

The future of your business depends on your ability to evolve. It's time to stop dwelling on what used to be and start building what can be. Get out of your comfort zone, engage with the cold market, and commit to your business.

Have you ever had someone join your team, only to quickly realize that this business model wasn’t for them? Kristen has been noticing a significant issue: the stickiness problem. This has become a common theme in the social selling industry. But why do so many people come in and exit just as quickly?

In today’s episode Kristen dives into the reasons behind this problem and explores ten strategies to improve retention and help your team members stick around.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Stickiness refers to the ability to retain new team members effectively. It’s about how many people join your team and how many actually stay and thrive.
• Kristen emphasizes that addressing these issues requires strategic changes in how leaders bring people onto their teams and support them once they join
• Consider what shifts you need to make in your approach to help people stick to your team. What questions can you ask during the vetting process? How can you better support new members in their initial days
• How can you work with new team members to adjust their expectations and recognize smaller, incremental successes rather than expecting immediate, large wins?

Not everyone is cut out for social selling, and it's crucial to differentiate between those who are serious about the opportunity and those who are merely wishful thinkers.

Remember, it's your team too. There is work you have to do to keep the "right" team members. Reflect on these points and consider the shifts you need to make to ensure you're attracting and retaining the best people for your team. What questions can you ask to ensure you're bringing in the right people and setting them up for success? The success of your team starts with your leadership and the standards you set.
